Memory card slot?

I have a MBP and I want to upload pics onto it from my SDcard from my camera. I put it into the memory card slot and i dont think it is recognizing it? Im not really sure what to do. Please help! THANKS

i recently tried putting the sd card in my mbp and didn't see it on the desktop but when i opened iphoto it was visible their. so i noticed their's a spot in finder prefrences to display it on your desktop. just a guess.

Im going to try that. But the SD card seems like it is smaller than the slot for it on the mbp.

Do you have a Sony camera? If so, you are using Memory Sticks instead of SD cards.

If you have a Fujifilm cameras, chances are you are using an xD card.

If you have a DSLR, you are using a Compact Flash card.

Check the type.

Just for reference, every current model Canon DSLRs accept SD in addition to CF now (currently listed on their website, not necessarily for sale as older ones are still on the market with vendors), Nikon however seems to only take CF in their DSLRs.

My nikon DSLR (d40) and I'm pretty sure the d60, d90, d3000 and d5000 at least all use SD.

OP, if you are using a sony, you have a memory stick not SD, it's longer and thinner and wont work in your SD card slot (propietry sony format). You'll need an external card reader that takes memory stick.

See...that's what I get for being lazy and only spot-checking the Nikon line-up
